Halton Police successfully recovered a black Tesla from Bronte Harbour after it was allegedly pushed into the water by three unidentified men in the early hours of March 8.
According to local residents, the incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. when three men were seen pushing the vehicle into the harbour. Witnesses described the events leading up to the incident, including the car’s unusual movements prior to being submerged.
Several neighbours reported seeing the Tesla stop in front of the local Marine Tavern Pub. Three men exited the car and switched places, with one taking the wheel. Shortly after, they drove away and pushed the car into the water.
Police were able to extract the vehicle from the harbour later that same afternoon.
